Challenges Towards Improved Friction Stir Welds Using On-line Sensing of Weld Quality

Team: LSU (PhD Student Daniel Hugget leading)

Description: 

  • In-process and post-process NDE techniques
  • Improve prediction of friction stir weld defects and overall joint quality
  • Real time methods for immediate assessment of weld quality
  • Use of UWS 2 and PDS 1
